Doves Are Overrated

i need someone who’ll show me how it’s done:
how you take a heart and stay in love.

i need someone who won’t reap my soul and run;
a shakespeare who rather have a raven than a dove.

To be loved for being exactly who and what you are is reality at is best.. could be deemed a dream come true. That said, being judged wholesale is not proof of love anyway. Your words ripen at each reading. Gently laid and.. academically sound.
